Tariff Revenues Rise Sharply in Canada After Retaliation Against Trump Levies
(Bloomberg) -- A spike in custom import duties shows proceeds from retaliatory tariffs are starting to roll into the coffers of Canada's federal government. NYC Congestion Toll Brings In $216 Million in First Four Months Now With Colorful Blocks, Tirana's Pyramid Represents a Changing Albania The Economic Benefits of Paying Workers to Move NY Wins Order Against US Funding Freeze in Congestion Fight Why Arid Cities Should Stick Together Duties paid on imports rose a nominal C$546 million ($396 million) to C$1.95 billion in the first three months of the year, a 39% quarterly increase, according to data released Friday by Statistics Canada. That was likely driven by retaliatory tariffs imposed in March by the federal government on imports of steel, aluminum and various other US products in response to President Donald Trump's tariffs. Canada and Mexico were among the first countries targeted by Trump's tariff policies. The figures are reported on a so-called net basis, the agency said, meaning they factor in 'repayments made to importers as part of existing relief programs or remission orders.' In his election platform, Prime Minister Mark Carney said he expects as much as C$20 billion in tariff revenue this fiscal year to help offset the impact of additional expenditures for his ambitious plan to boost Canada's economic growth potential. Finance Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne said 70% of the counter-tariffs implemented by Canada are still in place. That implies levies remain on about C$42 billion in imports, despite large exemptions announced by the federal government in recent weeks. --With assistance from Mario Baker Ramirez.

The report for the next-gen content delivery networks (CDN) and edge services industry analyzes providers offering services to deliver web content, video, and applications to end-users with high performance, low latency, and robust security. The CDN market has evolved to include: The CDN industry has transformed from solely focusing on content delivery to providing a comprehensive suite of services that enable secure, high-performance, and real-time content delivery, edge computing, and cloud-native services. Reducing latency and enhancing performance are critical challenges in the next-gen CDN and edge services market. The rapid growth of video streaming services and the increasing demand for high-resolution content (such as 4K and 8K videos), as well as lower latency, are pushing the limits of traditional CDN infrastructure. Additionally, as real-time applications like IoT, smart cities, augmented reality (AR), and virtual reality (VR) become more prevalent, the demand for low-latency, high-performance content delivery networks (CDNs) is increasingly growing. Market leaders are addressing this challenge by integrating edge computing solutions that process data closer to end-users, significantly reducing latency and improving performance. This transformation is essential for supporting the growing demand for bandwidth-intensive digital experiences. The CDN and edge services market is witnessing a transformation driven by innovative business models and megatrends. Traditional CDNs operated on a per-byte traffic charging model, but this approach is becoming commoditized. Providers are now expanding their service portfolios to include higher value-add networks and security services, creating subscription-based packages. This diversification is reshaping the market, with top-tier providers offering comprehensive solutions that encompass content delivery, security, and edge computing. The market is characterized by intense competition and geopolitical challenges. Consolidation among major players and the entry of cloud providers and ISPs are increasing competitive pressure. Additionally, geopolitical factors such as data sovereignty and localization regulations are complicating global content delivery. Successful companies are navigating these challenges by adopting multi-cloud strategies, enhancing their security offerings, and expanding their global reach through partnerships and localized presence. The 13 companies profiled in this report were selected based on their ability to meet a set of specific criteria, including offering a comprehensive CDN solution with a significant global presence, providing robust edge computing capabilities, integrating advanced security features, supporting cloud-native services, demonstrating innovation and R&D investments, having a visible customer base and significant revenues, and providing a user-friendly platform.

Victoria's Secret website down for third day amid mysterious ‘security incident'
Victoria's Secret & Co. kept mum on Wednesday as a prolonged 'security incident' kept its website dark for a third straight day, flummoxing customers and investors alike and pushing the stock price down 7%. The retailer also ceased some office operations and told employees to steer clear of company technology as some email passwords stopped working, Bloomberg reported. 'Recovery is going to take awhile,' CEO Hillary Super cryptically told staff in a memo obtained by Bloomberg. Details of the outage remained, well, secret. For website visitors, the retailer supplied no explanation beyond a few sentences appearing on a blank pink screen, telling customers that the company had 'taken down our website and some in-store services as a precaution' to address the incident. The store's app was also affected, and while the company's social media pages were still intact, the most recent posts were from Monday or earlier. Customers first noticed the outage on Monday or a bit earlier, according to social media posts and Bloomberg. Victoria's Secret told the Daily News in an emailed statement that it 'immediately enacted our response protocols' and that 'third-party experts are engaged,' promising they're 'working to quickly and securely restore operations.' 'We continue to serve customers in our Victoria's Secret and PINK stores,' the company confirmed. The outage came about a week after Victoria's Secret announced on May 20 that it had enacted a 'poison pill' measure, a limited-duration shareholder rights plan, to ward off a potential hostile takeover attempt by an Australian investor. ___ © 2025 New York Daily News.
